Stay strong on border security despite the pressure
Senate Republicans Coordinate Attack on House Republicans in Border Security Negotiations
Last Friday, Senate Republican leaders launched a strategic assault on House Republicans, aiming to pressure them into accepting any deal struck between Senate GOP negotiators, Senate Democrats, and the White House regarding border security.
“It makes no sense to me for us to do nothing when we might be able to make things better,” said Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), emphasizing the need for action. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) echoed this sentiment, calling it a “unique moment” to implement conservative border policies.
However, the problem lies in the fact that implementing “some conservative border policy” will not effectively address the crisis at hand. President Joe Biden possesses the necessary tools to tackle the border crisis immediately, just as President Donald Trump did in 2019 without congressional support. The key lies in exerting pressure on Biden to take action.
Fortunately, the pressure is mounting.
On the same Friday, Dr. Steve Federico, the Chief of Government Affairs at Denver Health, appeared on The Ingraham Angle, urgently requesting a bailout for Colorado’s hospital system, which is being financially drained by Biden’s border crisis.
“We absolutely need additional public support to help provide healthcare to our safety net hospitals such as Denver Health,” pleaded Federico. “We’re facing a massive humanitarian crisis in our emergency rooms and clinics. We implore policymakers to step up and adequately fund the healthcare providers offering this crucial care.”
According to Fox News, around 8,000 undocumented immigrants made approximately 20,000 visits to Denver hospitals last year, contributing to the system’s $22 million deficit.
When asked for comment, Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) acknowledged the issue, stating, “It should come as no surprise that hospitals across the country are burdened with treating uninsured migrants without real border security and a fixed immigration system.”
Polis is absolutely right. Without “real border security,” hospitals nationwide will face bankruptcy as they provide free healthcare to undocumented immigrants.
Unless Senate Republicans intervene and provide assistance first.

Blue states are now truly feeling the impact of Biden’s border crisis. Rather than implementing necessary policy changes at the southern border, Democrats seem more inclined to alleviate the pain through bailouts. House Republicans aim to leverage this pressure to push for genuine reforms that will effectively solve the problem.
Unfortunately, it appears that Senate Republicans are aligning themselves with the Democrats.
What concerns are progressive Democrats raising about the treatment of immigrants at the border?
Nting from both sides of the aisle. Senate Republicans are using their newfound leverage to push for stricter border security measures, while progressive Democrats are voicing their concerns about the treatment of immigrants at the border. This bipartisan pressure can be a catalyst for change, forcing the Biden administration to take immediate action to address the border crisis.
In recent weeks, the situation at the southern border has reached a critical point. Record numbers of migrants, including unaccompanied minors, are crossing into the United States, overwhelming border patrol agents and overcrowding detention facilities. The current policies in place are simply not sufficient to handle the inflow of migrants and protect national security.
Senate Republicans recognize the urgency of the situation and are pushing for more funding and resources to beef up border security. They argue that a strong border is essential to safeguarding American communities and preventing the entry of drugs and criminal elements. Several Republican senators have proposed legislation to enhance border infrastructure, increase the number of patrol agents, and expedite the deportation process for undocumented individuals.
These proposals, however, have faced opposition from House Republicans who are intent on securing a deal that includes a path to citizenship for certain undocumented immigrants. While a pathway to citizenship is a complex issue that requires careful consideration, it should not come at the expense of ignoring the immediate crisis at the border. The priority should be to first address the border security measures necessary to halt the influx of migrants.
Senate Republicans are right in their assertion that some conservative border policies need to be implemented. However, it is crucial to recognize that comprehensive immigration reform cannot be achieved solely through border security measures. There must be a balanced approach that addresses the root causes of migration, improves legal pathways for immigration, and provides protections for asylum seekers.
In order to effectively address the border crisis, both Senate and House Republicans must work together to find common ground. This requires setting aside partisan differences and focusing on the best interests of the American people. By coordinating their efforts and presenting a united front, Republicans can send a strong message to the Biden administration that immediate action is necessary.
Furthermore, Senate Republicans should seek to engage Senate Democrats in constructive dialogue to reach a bipartisan solution. It is crucial to bridge the divide between the two parties and find common areas of agreement. By working together, Republicans can facilitate meaningful change and ensure that border security is prioritized.
In conclusion, Senate Republicans’ coordinated attack on House Republicans in border security negotiations is a strategic move to pressure for immediate action. While the specific policies being proposed may be subject to debate, the urgency of addressing the border crisis cannot be understated. It is essential that both parties come together to find common ground and implement comprehensive solutions that address border security, immigration reform, and the protection of vulnerable populations. The American people deserve nothing less than a swift and effective response to this ongoing crisis.
